Off-roading is a popular thing to do on the weekends. People do it with many things such as Can-Ams, quads, razors, and more.
Off-roading is driving a vehicle on unsurfaced areas or tracks.
You can go to sand dunes, mountains, and state parks; there's lots of places near you that you don't even realize can be used as an area for off-roading.
Off-roading is a fun, yet quite dangerous thing to do.
Like many other activities involving vehicles, the sensation of speed and freedom in drifting like you're in a movie can be addicting to some. However, because you’re involving a vehicle in the first place, it can also be dangerous. In the event you are going too fast and lose control, you can flip the vehicle itself.
There are multiple things you need but most importantly is a helmet and goggles. Some other things you may need are ropes, an extra gas tank, spare tires.
This is due to the fact that sometimes things don’t go as planned.
If you ever get stuck up a hill at a sand dune (I have experience in this area), it’s incredibly hard to get yourself unstuck.
Backing up the tires won’t do you any good, as the tires will just bury themselves deeper into the uneven surface of the sand.
The only way to get you and your vehicle out is utilizing a rope and another vehicle.
With how dangerous the sport could be, you'd think it's something illegal - but it isn't.
As long as you are doing it safely and wearing the proper gear you're good.
However, it is illegal to drive some off-roading vehicles on public streets or highways.
Overall, off-roading is something fun and a new experience you should look into. Just remember to be careful, be aware, and use your equipment!
